Future Destines is a very interesting collection of ten short stories, bound loosely by the sci-fi genre, yet each unique. The world in each story is well crafted, but a few of the stories read a bit like a science or engineering text book, getting way too bogged down in explaining the technology. Others, however, really shine. My favorite of the set was “Phane”. To me, this one story, alone, is worth reading the other nine. ( )
